The expected characteristics of any good assessment are objectivity, validity and reliability. A good assessment is also one that ensures pedagogical alignment with the learning objectives. Therefore, it is important to apply assessment principles and methods that have high psychometric properties. The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is one such current assessment method that has gained credibility thanks to its higher quality compared to the traditional clinical examination, especially by reproducing an authentic situation. The university hospital teaching staff in Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics at the Faculty of Dentistry of Casablanca-Morocco tested this method of OSCE evaluation and, in view of the results, embarked on a process of reform by evaluating clinical skills through OSCEs. http://pubs.sciepub.com/education/11/3/9/education-11-3-9.pdf Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) clinical assessment dental residents conservative dentistry and endodontics formative OSCE skills evaluation feedback
